Deanna Vicites, who is charged with shooting her husband, Fayette County Commissioner Vincent Vicites, resigned as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, according to the Pennsylvania Democratic Party

The party listed Deanna Vicites as an at-large delegate in a June 11 press release announcing its delegation to the national convention to be held in Philadelphia July 25-28.

She was arrested Sunday night after she was accused of shooting her husband at 1 a.m. Sunday. She was charged with attempted homicide and simple assault among other charges.

District Attorney Rich Bower said the shooting was "not accidental."

"We are obviously distressed by this tragic situation," said Pennsylvania Democratic Party communications director Preston Maddock. "Our prayers are with Commissioner Vicites, his loved ones, and the community he serves. The Pennsylvania Democratic Party has accepted the resignation of Deanna Vicites as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, and will be replacing her with Curtis Jones, an at-large alternate that has been elected by the State Democratic Committee."

According to the DNC's rules for the 2016 convention, "a permanent replacement occurs when a delegate resigns, dies or is no longer eligible to serve prior to or during the National Convention and the alternate replaces the delegate for the remainder of the National Convention. Any alternate who permanently replaces a delegate shall be certified in writing to the Secretary of the DNC by the State Democratic Chair."

Vicites will be replaced by Curtis Jones.

Investigators said her husband told them the shooting was an accident as did his wife. But they say her story then changed several times. In one version she told police that she was depressed and suicidal, and that after drinking too much she put the gun to her head, but missed and shot her husband.

Deanna Vicites is her husband's second wife. He has two sons.

Bower said the bullet was still lodged in Vincent Vicites' throat and that he was in stable condition but "not yet out of the woods" as of Monday morning.

Records show he filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy on July 7.

His wife's preliminary hearing is set for July 26. She is in the Fayette County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
